TAGLIATELLE WITH LENTILS, PARSLEY AND GARLIC

Use canned lentils or prepare your own dry lentils, which are tastier. Dry lentils are usually found in your market's rice and beans section. Rinse them off in a sieve, place in pot, cover with water, stir, bring to a boil, lower flame and simmer till tender, 25 -30 minutes. You can do this ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze.
